It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back over 45 years.

ELEVENTYSEVEN – Before this current era of my pop chart there was another era that started days after my salvation in August of 2006. It lasted short of 3½ years, and some great loud music was on it that led me to my Lord + Savior Jesus Christ, or moved me closer to Him. One such song was “Love In Your Arms” from the Greenville South Carolina band Eleventyseven. It spent 6 weeks at # 1 on my chart, and that’s where it was exactly 17 years ago.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays).

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. God used loud music on the radio to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

Be blessed my friends !  May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

THE FORGE – Good to see North America seeing this wonderful movie at the theatres. After 11 days – it’s made over $16 million at the box office, and it actually increased its theatre count for this holiday weekend – up to 1,921. (That’s a rarity nowadays.) If it’s playing near you then I highly recommend you seeing it if you haven’t done so already. Box office receipts such as these should encourage movie makers to make more about our Glorious God. It should also encourage theatre owners to include these movies at their venues.

SUMMER OF 2024 – It’s the final week of our 15-week Summer (starting with Memorial Day Weekend and ending with Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A.). As is tradition here on #CountUp – I’ll present “My Top 10 Hits” of the Summer. In fact – I’m working on it now. It’ll publish tomorrow – Wednesday September 04TH 2024. Come back here to see my hottest Christian hits of the Summer.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom.

COLTON DIXON – It’s a good week for Colton – now and then. His “Miracles” was # 1 exactly 4 years ago. And his “Up + Up” becomes his 4TH hit on my chart over the past 7½ years. It’s a Jeremiah 29:11 testimony. When you’re down – He picks you up. From the ground – He gives you love. He lifts you up and up again – no matter who surrounds:

THE FORGE – I saw it at my local movie theatre this past Friday afternoon, and it was gloriously wonderful. It’s the latest from the Kendrick Brothers (“Facing The Giants”, “Fireproof”, “Courageous”, “War Room”, “Overcomer”, etc.). It’s actually a spinoff of “War Room” from exactly 9 years ago, and YES – Miss Clara and a few other characters are back from the original. I highly recommend this movie. See it this week if you can. It is a sound Christian movie based on Biblical Scripture. Stick around past the start of the closing credits at the end of the movie for an extra scene and a special message from the Kendrick Brothers. Fun Fact – this movie was filmed in Albany Georgia last summer (2023) – a city that I drove around and spent the night in as part of my April 2024 road-trip.

SUMMER OF 2024 – This is Week 14 of our 15-week Summer (starting with Memorial Day Weekend and ending with Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A.). As is tradition here on #CountUp – I’ll present “My Top 10 Hits” of the Summer after it’s over. It’ll publish on Wednesday September 04TH 2024. I wonder what my # 1 smash of the Summer will be ?

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom.

RYAN STEVENSON – I enjoy compiling and looking back at # 1 hits this week in history. This is a big turnover week for new # 1 hits – representing 5 out of the past 8 years (including this week). Ryan Stevenson hit # 1 exactly 3 years ago with a song that was an emotional tribute to his Mom in Heaven. It was underrated, and it underperformed nationally. It should have crossed over to mainstream pop and country radio. It should have won awards. It spent 15 weeks on my chart – 14 in my Top 5. It could’ve likely gone another 10 weeks had it been supported by continued radio airplay. As his 8TH hit debuts on my chart this week – I present the official lyric video of his 6TH hit from the Summer of 2021:

TOP 40 OF 400 – And speaking of Ryan Stevenson – his “When We Fall Apart” is his biggest hit of this current era, but it missed my Top 40 by far. I’ll present my Top 40 hits cumulatively of the first 400 weeks (since February 2017) this October.
